I was interested in elucidating the ways in which this reality, which formed the basis for such fiction, was transformed by the writer in his/her work and the reasons behind the transformation. Since my own professional activity has been related to the sciences, I chose to study the novels of Michael Crichton, a commercially-successful writer whose credentials and practice qualify him as an author of professional-based fiction as defined by Michel Petit in his 1999 article “La fiction à substrat professionnel: une autre voie d'accès à l'anglais de spécialité”.

    Five Patients in 50 years: Revisiting the speculations of Michael Crichton’s medical school nonfiction Tyler D. Barrett, MA, MPS Tyler Barrett is an Assessment Clinician at the Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute, Seattle, WA. “We’re talking about what the future is; no one knows what the future is!” – Michael Crichton, 20071 uthor Michael Crichton (1942-2008) crafted con- vincing stories of speculative science and tech- nology into Hollywood blockbusters and wide Acommercial success.

    s6s r i w°/Ia ym ICsa ui S" cs . .. ....................... ....... Dear Colleagues, Writers and directors, working in the kind of collaboration that dignifies both of our profes- sions, stand together once again in our official identities as the Writers Guild of America, west and the Directors Guild of America, to present the Preston Sturges Award in recognition of a career achievement in filmmaking. Our honoree is Blake Edwards, the third artist to be so selected, preceded by Richard Brooks and Billy Wilder. How proud we are to have been in their presence and to be working at the same crafts! Somewhere, Preston Sturges is smiling; surely Blake Edwards is a talent after his own heart. Consider Blake's body of work, outlined in detail elsewhere in this publication. It is the journey of an instinctive artist learning his craft. A journey through the latter days of the legendary Hollywood studio system, writing low-budget westerns and romantic comedies, then directing his own scripts. Then the gradual development of a personal style, a "touch." Then, in 1963, his script (with Maurice Richlin) and his direction of The Pink Panther,and film buffs throughout the world knew that they had another stylist to enjoy. (Remember the spinning globe of the earth, and Inspector Clouseau inadvertently touching it, and spinning himself right to the floor?) After that, Blake's work, unaffected by the storytelling fads of the moment, showed the maturing of a master. He developed into one of those rare creative minds who holds true to his unique talent and to the cinematic tradition of the great era of visual comedy of Chaplin, Keaton and Harold Lloyd, and later, Preston Sturges himself.

  • Beyond the Techno-Thriller: Michael Crichton and Societal Issues in Science and Technology
    Beyond the Techno-thriller: Michael Crichton and Societal Issues in Science and Technology Erik Stengler, University of the West of England, Bristol, UK Abstract Michael Crichton is primarily known for being an outstanding writer of techno-thrillers and co-creator of the genre. In this paper I suggest that his fictional works can and should be considered under the deeper and wider perspective of his concern for societal issues regarding science and technology with a profound consideration of their effects and on the life of people and the development of society. In fact this defining feature of his work is inclusive of numerous works by Michael Crichton that would not fit into the techno-thriller genre. It therefore seems a more appropriate way to characterize his work. This idea is further supported by the fact that most of the few works of his that do not fit into this perspective were written during a brief period of time in which Michael Crichton explored other genres, only to return to his humanistic approach to science and technology for the rest of his fiction-writing career. Keywords: Michael Crichton, techno-thriller, science and society, technology and society 1. Introduction The year 2015 has seen the release of the 4th instalment of the Jurassic Park franchise that began with Jurassic Park (Spielberg), and in 2016 the remake of Westworld (Crichton) will be launched in the form of a TV series created by Jonathan Nolan. The two original movies are twenty years and two completely different generations apart and yet they are both the product of the same creator, Michael Crichton.
